SO glad I discovered Chiltern Railways earlier this year. No longer do I have to suffer the drive to Didcot and the unreliability of Western Region (or whatever it's called these days) when I need to take the choo-choo to London. A slightly longer drive to Haddenham & Thame Parkway, then a quiet train to Marylebone. Unlike trains from Paddington, there's no restriction on down trains back using off-peak tickets. Next year we'll see Oxford Parkway opening. Will anyone who wants to go to London from British West Oxfordshire still bother with Western Region? I doubt it.....

Chiltern provide a fantastic service. If I leave my house in Oxford at 07:25, drive to H&T Parkway I can be outside Marylebone by 08:28.
